LaunchDarkly
The runtime control layer for AI development, de-risking releases, and enabling systems to
LaunchDarkly is a feature management and runtime control platform that helps software teams manage, release, and monitor code and AI agent behavior in production. It solves the problem of deploying changes without safe, real-time control, enabling teams to progressively roll out features, instantly roll back problematic releases, and govern AI agents automatically.
The platform offers CodeControl for feature flags, targeting, progressive rollouts, automated rollbacks, and observability including error monitoring, logs, traces, and session replay. AgentControl provides online and offline evaluations, adaptive triggers, AI insights, an LLM playground, and agent graphs. Experimentation capabilities include A/B/n testing, multi-armed bandits, and holdouts. Integrations span CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions and Jenkins, observability platforms such as Datadog and New Relic, and data warehouses including Snowflake and BigQuery.
LaunchDarkly is designed for engineering, product, and business teams at organizations of all sizes. It offers a free Developer plan with unlimited seats and usage-based pricing for the Foundation plan, with a 14-day trial. The Enterprise plan provides custom pricing with advanced targeting, custom roles, workflows, and SCIM provisioning. A paid Guardian add-on adds release monitoring, guardrail metrics, and automatic rollback.
